On a road map, the locations A, B and C are collinear. Location C divides the road from location A to B, such that AC:CB = 1:2.

If location A is at (5,16) and location C is at (3,10). Find the coordinates of location B. A. (1,4) B. (4,13) C. (-1,-2)

Answer:

C. (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C internally divides AB in the ratio AC/CB = 1/2 = m/n where m = 1 and n = 2, we use the formula for internal division.

Let A = (x₁, y₁) = (5, 16), B = (x₂, y₂) and C = (x, y) = (3, 10)

So x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

Substituting the values of the coordinates, we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

3 = (1 × x₂ + 2 × 5)/(2 + 1)

3 = (x₂ + 10)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

9 = x₂ + 10

x₂ = 9 - 10

x₂ = -1

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

10 = (1 × y₂ + 2 × 16)/(2 + 1)

10 = (x₂ + 32)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

30 = y₂ + 32

y₂ = 30 - 32

y₂ = -2

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, -2)

Mario, Yoshi, and Toadette play a game of "nonconformity": They each choose rock, paper, or scissors. If two of the three people
andrey2020 [161]

Step-by-step explanation: Hi!

well, the only case where someone wins is if two of them chose the same thing, and the other chose one of the two remaining possibilities.

an useful way of starting this is calculated al the possible combinations of rock, paper and scissors.

we have 3 persons and 3 options, ence the total number of permutations is 3*3*3 = 27

So, the cases where none wins are:

1) the 3 chose the same thing:  there are 3 combinations here, one for each option

2) the 3 chose a different thing: here you think, the first one has 3 possibilities, then the second one must choose a different option, so has 2, and the third one only has 1 remaining option.  so you have 6 combinations.

so there are 6 + 3 = 9 combinations where no one wins, if we want to se the probability, we compute 9/27 = 1/3 = 0.33%.

But the problem ask for it to happen 4 times in a row, so you will have 0.33*0.33*0.33*0.33 = 1/81 chances that this happens

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 18 comma 000$18,000. It costs $ 120$120 to produce each canoe. Th
Scilla [17]
If the company makes 1 canoe only, then the cost is, the fixed cost plus how much it costs for the 1 canoe, or
180,000 + 1*120

if it makes 2 canoes
180,000 + 2*120
3 canoes   180,000 + 3*120
4canoes   180,000 + 4*120
x canoes  180,000 + x*120

so... we dunno what "x" is, but whatever "x" maybe, the cost ends up as 180,000 + x*120, or 180,000 + 120x

now, let's see the revenue
1 canoe 1 * 240
2 canoes 2*240
3 canoes 3*240
x canoes x*240

so.. whatever "x" maybe, the Revenue is x*240 or 240x

break-even point is when, the amount of expenses and earnings cancel each other out, or, there's no profit, but there's no loss either, same amount that's spent is also earned back

so, the break-even point occurs when Revenue = Cost

180,000 + 120x = 240x     <--- solve for "x"
